Body of S. African tourist in Egypt washes ashore

CAIRO (AP) — Security officials in Egypt say the body of a South African tourist has been found after her boat cruising the Nile capsized during a storm.

Officials say the body of a 51-year-old South African woman washed ashore Thursday near the village of Akleet in Egypt's southern Aswan province. They say the sailboat she was on capsized Wednesday during a dust storm and heavy rain.

Officials say she and five other foreign tourists — three Australians, a Pole and another Southern African — were on board. They say the five, along with three Egyptians, were rescued.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren't authorized to speak to journalists.
